Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of western fans and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Set in sun-baked Los Angeles. Liked Hud or Old Henry? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 6 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1956: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
California, 1840s. Wealthy landowner César de Echagüe, secretly acting as El Coyote, the legendary masked hero, continues his fight against the injustices and abuses suffered by the Hispanic population at the hands of the US Army.
